4. ICE Reading Room: Watch a dance performance change in real time with facial projection mapping
"The University of Tokyo designed a high-speed projector that projects 1,000 frames per second - what they say is the world's fastest. By using the projector alongside a 3D-mapping system and precise sensor tracking, the video creators were able to change the look of the dancers and the aesthetics of the video in real time."

Cine Lab, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
https://www.facebook.com/HA.DIVERSITY/
Hyphenated American is back this year with the theme: Diversity Enriches! Artists of a variety of cultures and backgrounds are coming together for a night of spoken word, new compositions, visual art and dance. Come on out for this free show and enjoy the beauty of diversity. We'll follow the show up with a safe discussion about the importance of diversity and what inclusivity looks like in our daily lives. Be on the lookout for news about the artists involved.
Last year's Hyphenated American project, supported by an Idea Lab Mini-Grant, was a great success featuring visual art, poetry, new music compositions, and guest lecturers who came together for a show focused on Latinos in the U.S. This April, Hyphenated American is returning with a broader focus to amplify the voices of immigrants, refugees, and hyphenated Americans of every culture.

8. a2ru National Conference
Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement
November 1-4, 2017
Deadline extended: April 14
Boston, MA
http://a2ru.org/events/2017-national-conference/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) is pleased to announce the 2017 a2ru National Conference, hosted by the Northeastern University with additional conference events throughout hosted by Boston University, Massachusetts Institute for Technology, and Tufts University.
Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement will use the city of Boston as a starting point for discussion and engagement. As a 21st century global city, Boston embodies many of the issues that drive diverse contemporary cultural contexts. It supports a rich and continually evolving sense of civic realms, and is home to leading arts, educational, medical, industrial and corporate entities invested in innovative modes of research, practice and civic participation. There is also clear recognition that the 'public sphere' is not confined to large metropolitan regions. Creating dynamic communities that engage and extend beyond traditional boundaries - in both virtual and material ways - remains a growing challenge and the work before us.
a2ru invites proposals from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners investigating the intersections, synergies, and interfaces of arts in the public sphere and their influence on civility, advocacy, and engagement. We seek proposals from: university-level faculty, administrators, and students, as well as civic leaders and representatives from industry, private enterprise, sectors outside the arts that incorporate the arts and design in their work, and public/private arts, culture, and civic organizations. We invite proposals from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners around the 2017 them and/or that address issues relevant to the mission of a2ru.
FORMATS FOR PARTICIPATION
Papers or alternative equivalents such as performances or time-based media presentations. 3-4 papers/performances/presentations will be grouped by the selection committee into 90-minute sessions around common themes.
Discussion panels. Panels should focus around a conference-themed topic and include a moderator and at least 3 panelists; each panelist is encouraged to offer a brief position paper or introductory presentation to uniquely enhance audience discussion. Panels should build in a direct dialog interface with attendees within an overall 90-minute session.
Working groups. Groups provide opportunity for immersive work sessions that participants sign up for in advance of the conference. Proposals should include a focus topic in relation to the conference themes as well as the intended working methods and outcomes of the group process.
Proposals will be reviewed and accepted through a blind peer review process by a2ru partner scholars, practitioners, and researchers.

The University of Georgia recently joined the Alliance for Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) - a partnership of more than 30 institutions committed to ensuring the greatest possible institutional support for interdisciplinary research, curricula, programs, and creative practice between the arts, sciences, and other disciplines. As one sign of this commitment, the Willson Center is supporting an a2ru Faculty Research Cluster, established in order to identify and support extraordinary arts-oriented research.
The a2ru Faculty Research Cluster is accepting proposals from full-time, research-budgeted faculty, whose projects have the potential to further UGA's reputation as a leader in arts-based research. Projects may be creative or scholarly in form, and they may be disciplinary or interdisciplinary in scope. Grants will range between 1,000-3,000 dollars and are intended to advance research projects with an eye toward external funding.
A one-page proposal describing the project and its significance should be sent, along with a one-page budget, to the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts at <[log in to unmask]>. Proposals should identify at least one possible external source of funding. Applications will be reviewed by a representative panel of faculty in the arts.
